Uppsala Castle, a 16th-century royal castle in the city of Uppsala, Sweden, was constructed. Its history is not as glamorous or serene as it may seem. For centuries, the castle has witnessed a series of events that shaped Sweden and its rulers. From the Sture murders to the abdication of Queen Christina, Uppsala Castle has been the stage for some of the most momentous events in Sweden's history. But, it has also been ravaged by fires, destructive to the castle itself and its surrounding city.
